Martin Shkreli says he gives Sam Bankman-Fried advice and that he believes SBF felt he had 'to live up to something,' which got him off track and in trouble."
*Original context:* This goes back to *Dec 2022 Unchained podcast with Laura Shin* — after FTX collapse — Shkreli (released May 2022 after 5y securities fraud, 2017 sentence) offered prison survival tips to SBF:
Sam isn't exactly going to be somebody that fits into prison"_
- Advice: shave head, deepen voice, listen to rap, learn gangs / criminal culture / tough neighborhoods, reinvent background (don't say Stanford, say Oakland) — said _"This could save your life"_ / _"rich white kid from good neighborhood story doesn't sound great"
*Current status check:* SBF convicted 2023, sentenced *25 years March 2024* (115y max) — now in prison — appeal pending. Shkreli's new "live up to something" line appears to be a 2026 re-frame of same 2022 narrative — no filing, no new investigation, no court doc.
No evidence Shkreli was formal advisor to SBF pre-collapse — both have public commentary relationship only.
